Hey, Egon, would you ask your brother if there is any way to configure the Linux FAHconsole to use more memory?

Came across this...

To: Egon; All

Thanks for the info.

I discovered that the Linux version, MEPIS, is already using most of the physical memory with about 27% of it as a disk cache, leaving about 16% free. With nothing else running, it's not using any swap file (virtual memory), LOL.

I sure would like to speed up that system, but I'm not sure how to do it. It's an off-brand box, X-Systems, using an FIC SD11 motherboard, 512 MB PC100 memory, & AMD K7 Thunderbird 500 Mhz CPU. I know it can be overclocked, but I'm not sure how or what to tweak. I don't use this system for anything but FAH, and it seems to be pretty slow compared to some of the like systems other FReepers are running.

If, anyone has any ideas, let me know.
Thanks,
RT

Speaking of your brother, how's he doing on the Linux version of your monitor?

If you need a beta tester, let me know. (I hope it's an executable, I don't know Linux very well and have never compiled a program or kernel or whatever you call it, LOL.)
